Poor Parsi might be the richest "poor indian"
The Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) on Monday told the Bombay high court that it had revised the definition of a poor Parsi as one who earns up to Rs 90,000 a month, in order to be eligible for a subsidized community apartment. The BPP, which controls over 5,000 flats in the city, had earlier fixed this amount at under Rs 50,000 a month. There are an estimated 45,000 Parsis in Mumbai. Read More

Government should realize the meaning of inclusive growth and spur the domestic consumption story rather than transnational businesses through finance related globalization. People in India are being compromised in terms of social welfare and security. Government is busy making reform oriented policies by involving more and more private sector institutions in national resources. People must raise a voice against deteriorating social life and personal development in the sack of globalization.
One might think that It's good to be a "POOR PARSI " rather than "poor indian" or "POOR PARSI" might be the richest "poor indian"

The whole headlines are again factually misinterpreted as they were before last year. The fact is that the Parsi community has pegged someone earning rs 90,000/- a month as someone whop can on his/her own feet buy a flat with his own money or can take a loan for doing so instead of relying on charity. This is actually quite reasonable. It also allows truly deserving to get subsidised assets. . In any case sensationalising this issue as done previously by Ms Rosy Sequira on the same issue to get headlines is portraying a wrong picture of Parsis being only Rich'. The Parsis are already facing adversaries in terms of influence and reservation for Jobs, such headlines gives others an excuse to reposition a bawa/bawi last in the queue again for jobs etc and also instigates a haterd towards us thru jealously. Sequira and the clan are of those senstaionalists who think and portray Parsis as not aiding India in her freedom struggle or in the armed forces though we ratio wise outdid all others or infact even of others combined their efforts all in one. Shame on sequira on doing this again!''
